Autocomplete for qualified values not optimal about vscode-ide-purescript HOT 4 OPEN

There is currently a bunch of scoring done to order these completions, but mostly around the name of the prefix & module chosen, so Something.Foo should actually appear very near the top of the list if you complete Foo.view (because Foo matches a component of the module name).

If I gather correctly you're suggesting sorting modules that are already imported unqualified (e.g. import Something.Foo (bar)) higher? That seems reasonable but I couldn't say for sure if it's feasible without checking.

Oh wow, now I tried this again and realized that it works exactly how you say for my simplified example.
In my case I was importing a value 'view' from module App.UI.Slider but I wanted it qaulified as UI.Slider.view which would result in the import
import App.UI.Slider as UI.Slider

And in this case if i write "UI.Slider.view" (nothing is imported at this point) I am not seeing App.UI.Slider listed near the top.

This way of importing qualified as a name that contains a dot itself was maybe not considered in the matching function? If you point me to the responsible code section, I can see if I can provide a fix.

But for now I will just import as UISlider and I'm good :)

Right, I have come across similar cases where we could do better relating the qualifier.

The suggestion ranking is around here in the language server: https://github.com/nwolverson/purescript-language-server/blob/main/src/LanguageServer/IdePurescript/Completion.purs#L200
